Bright Moments
May 1st, Denise returned from her favorite place and during her favorite time of the year, St. Petersburg, Russia. The weather was incrrediblily sunny and warm. This visit also coincided with the arrival of a unique fish, "Korushka," which swims up the Neva River once a year, very tasty and plentiful and her favorite.
Performing for the opening of Shatyor, s summer cafe operated by the famous Opera Restaurant. It was a tented glamouras affiar. She also heard the first draft of music being written for her symphonic chamber concerts later this fall. Reuniting once again with her musical director/pianist, Andrei Kondakov, photographer, Olga Urvantseva and good friend and promoter, Genady Shamin, made this trip very special.
As always..............GET UP, GET OUT and ENJOY the MUSIC.......SEE YOU THERE.........!

From Jazz 89 KUVO Denver Radio: We received your effervescent CD. (Denise Perrier Live at Yoshi's Blue Monday Party) We like it, and are playing it. I am pals with (Clifford Brown, Jr.) Brownie Jr. so it's good to see his liner notes. I like the Latin-tinged moments of your album. I'll be at the IAJE in January in Long Beach, so call, if you're going I hope to catch up with you. Are my colleagues at KCSM playing you? Jessie "Chuy" Varela is my ace in the place. We carry Bob Parloche overnight here as well. Too bad the Duke medley is too long for radio, (except for KKUP 91.5 FM Cupertino, CA) it's fabulous. I'm old enough, not only to remember what a rumpus room is, but t recall your brother's, Paul Jackson, tremendous performance with the Brothers Escovedo's Azteca ensemble. Ever since I heard, "Can't Take The Funk Out Of Me," that along with Tower's "You Got To Funkafize" and the Headhunters with the 4 Pointer Sisters' "God Made Me Funky" have been my trifects of funk anthems fueling my East Bay grease to this day. ...Live at Yoshi's is a nice album, thanks for all the "bo do di o do's" and keep swingin' and bubblin' Fantastic to see someone finally cover Dinah's "Big Long, Slidin' Thing..." Great Job Arturo Gómez Music Director Jazz89, KUVO Colorado's First & Only HD FM Radio Station www.kuvo.org | ||
